Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P interviews Team Endurance Nation member Sabra Gonzalez on her first Ultra (Pine Mountain Ultra). You can get more UltraRun information from Endurance Nation online here.

Key Talking Points:

• Key Learning: There is an Ultra running technique…downhill smaller steps….uphill running controlling effort / heart rate while maintaining speed.
• Ultra Run Nutrition was different than triathlons. Sabra ate more real food than gels/bars/etc; baked potato in little bites; liquid nutrition for calories and sodium. Even potato chips (salty).
• Key Equipment: A Nathan hydration vest
• Training Challenges: Low points were many, but in retrospect they were milestones on the journey. The back to back weekends were the confidence builders.
• Recovery Tips: Recovery boots, epsom salt bath and foam rolling.
• Mantra: PROVE IT
